The Philippines Enticing When Wet
by: Ronan Vergara
The Philippines is a well known summer destination, with the combination of the blazing sun and the beautiful beaches being a certified temptation for tourists local and foreign alike. But this just lasts for half a year, for, as the country has only two season, rainy days are sure to come. Well, this year’s rainy season may be a little quirky – having arrived late due to El Niño – but it sure won’t make your Philippine stay all drenched down to disappointment.
The good thing about touring the Philippines during the wet season is that accommodations are affordable, and swimming resorts all over the country remain available. More so, expect lesser traffic jam on the way out of Manila, and consequently, faster travel time to the country’s vacation hotspots.
The downside here is that, ironically, Manila and its neighbors are experiencing water shortage, still due to the El Niño. But then, the beaches hold abundant supply of water, not counting its vast sea kissing the sand. Anyway, this glitch is somewhat very minor, since you can easily find good accommodations in Manila where water never runs short. Take for instance the fully furnished residential units in Novaliches, Quezon City, just a few minutes north of Manila. These units, good for both short term rentals and extended stay accommodation, will let you feel the homey atmosphere the Philippines is known for.
So if you’re planning for a rainy day holiday in the Philippines, hesitate not, for this country remains beautiful, rain or shine.
